Workarounds Described

• manually saves pay stubs and hiring email as evidence of hours worked

Implied Software Gaps

• Automated system to independently verify work hours using payroll data and location, bypassing employer cooperation

Apprentice Hour Tracker

A mobile app that lets apprentices independently log, verify, and submit work hours with geolocation, pay stub integration, and employer attestation. It creates an auditable, tamper-evident record that can be shared with licensing boards, bypassing uncooperative employers and ensuring accurate hour reporting.
